MARSHALL COUNTY, Ala. — Marshall County Schools are returning to remote learning until Jan. 5, 2021.
In a statement on the district's Facebook page, Superintendent Cindy Saye Wigley says the decision is based on the increase in COVID-19 cases in the county and as multiple students, faculty and staff members are self-isolating.
Meal service pick-up will be available.
Full statement from Superintendent Wigley:
We have been in constant communication with Marshall County EMA and local health officials concerning the increase in COVID-19 cases and county wide hospitalizations. With the increase and as multiple students, faculty and staff members are self-isolating, Marshall County Schools will transition to remote learning beginning Friday, November 13, 2020, through January 5, 2021.
Regarding meal service pick-up, the schedule will be e-mailed to each student’s account. As a means to continue tracking cases, if your child tests positive during the closure, please contact the school nurse.
This will enable us to continue to participate in the Alabama School COVID Tracking System.Next week all schools will be deep cleaned. Teachers and staff will report to campus on Monday, November 30, 2020. The district is finalizing professional development for teachers for the ExcelEd program. This program will provide teachers with a tool to live stream and/or record lessons for remote learning. We have also purchased Zoom for video conferencing and Edgenuity Concept Coaching for student tutoring in grades 6-12.
If your child receives special services, you will be contacted on an individual basis regarding the coordination of those services.
